Laughing at how I remember my former bosses wife also using work related traveling to not spend time with her rich,ugly, husband. They’re now divorced. No children either
Sachem of the Sakonnet. Her home there, near Narragansett Bay and Patuxet, in and around the place known today as Little Compton, Rhode Island. Created a hopeful alliance with colonizers at Plimoth to spare her people from enslavement during and after King Philip’s War. Endured the dispossession of lands and several attempts by colonizers to usurp her role as leader at Sakonnet.
Some of her kin (also appearing on this document): Samponock (alias Amos), Wawwooyowwitt, Soonchas (identified as her son). Names spelled as they appear.
This deed for Sakonnet land, signed May 23, 1674. Seen @ Massachusetts Historical Society.
Paxton wanted to feel pretty at their parents’ wedding while wearing something that would associate with @hermarks and @hisflaws because they want to wear what reminds to the world that they are meant to belong and feel loved, and Red and Max would always deliver that love and care for them despite everything, so they decided to go for the red dress with the floral print, as well as wearing a knife thigh strap so they can wave the knife like it is a glow stick when seeing their parents walking the aisle!!! Congratulation to few of [ redacted]’s most amazing parents in the whole wide universe, they will always love and care for them just as back while they enter their new chapter together!!!

chapter 1: i attempt an unpopular opinion // @hermarks
sometimes it’s hard to write a side character without much canon interactions. that character might as well be an oc. it’s also hard to write actual ocs sometimes. but i think that when you find the people who adore that side character or that oc as much as you do, if not more, then that makes it all worth it in the end.
positivity for hermarks & hisflaws : Shout-out to @hermarks & @hisflaws for being the most badass couple on my dash! Love you tons, guys! Keep being amazing.
Between her vacations with Mo in the off season, HerMark planning trips, and various other “adventures,” Tessa takes like at least 8 weeks off of her Deloitte work every year. Sorry but that does not equate to “full time” in the way any normal person can relate to. Wish it were me!
Squaw Sachem. Squaw Sachem of Mistick. Saunkskwa of Missitekw. Skosachoms mark.
Her homelands spreading across the areas of present day Charlestown to Concord, MA. and across Massachusett, Nipmuc and Pawtucket territories. This land deed for a tract of land from so-called Charlestown and Cambridge, Massachusetts, “against the ponds at Misticke” to Jotham Gibbons. Marked on the 13th of November, 1636. Leader across several Massachusett and Pawtucket communities before, during and after the death of her first partner, Nanepashemet (d. 1619). She died in 1667.
Her Kin: Nanepashemet, a partner. Their sons, Wonohaquaham (or Sagamore John), Montowampate (or Sagamore James), and Wenepoykin (or Sagamore George). Wompachowet or Webcowit, a partner. Their daughter, Yawata (or Sarah).
This post offers an opportunity for reflection and discussion around the appropriation and derogatory meaning the Algonquian word (and once honorific term) “squaw” or “sonksqua” now holds. This document also calls to attention the lack of documentation of this leader’s Massachusett name. Despite her mark appearing on many ‘legal’ documents in the 17th century, her given name was never recorded. Perhaps Saunskskwa/Sonksqua was her chosen identity; perhaps colonizers weren’t concerned enough to record her other name(s).
